Application filed April 2, 1912. Serial No. 688,040.

In the accompanying drawings. Figure l is a plan view. Fig. 2 is anunderface view. Fig. 3 is a side elevation. Fig. 4

is a section on line a a Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a section on line b b Fig. 1.Fig. 6 is a section on line 0 c Fig. 4. Fig. 7 is a perspective view ofone of the angle pieces.

The lamp shade comprises the cap, apron and the intermediate portionconnected by screws. The intermediate portion is made up of a pluralityof sections, the sections comprising the ribs 1 joined to the base 2 bvthe screws 3. The top 4 has a flange or edging 5 depending from itsunderface which is cut-away to receive the upper ends of the ribs asshown at Fig. 4. The upper ends of the ribs are connected to the top bvthe screws 6.

The glass sections 7 are located in rabbets formed in the ribs and theirlower ends are located in the recesses 8 formed in the upper part of thebase 2, Fig. 5. Screws and washers 9 are turned in connection with theribs and hold the glass sections in position.

The apron is formed of a plurality of sections 10 corresponding innumber to the sections in the intermediate portion and the sections arejoined by the angle piece 11 glued in position. Each section has acentral opening 12 and grooves to support a glass 13. This apron isconnected to the base 2 of the intermediate section by the screws 14.

I've claim as our invention:

1.. A lamp shade comprising a panel section polygonal in shape, and anapron secured to the under side of the base of said panel section,comprising side sections conforming to the polygonal shape of said panelsection, having the ends of two adjacent side sections abutted, eachsection having a vertically disposed slot extending from end to end andto the top of the panel section, an angular section located in the slotsof two adjacent ends and forming a connection therebetween, and a glasslocated in the slot of each section intermediate said angular sections.

A lamp shade comprising a panel section polygonal in shape, and an apronsecured to the under side of the base of said panel section, comprisingside sections conforming to the polygonal shape of said panel section,having the ends of two adjacent side sections abutted, glass sectionscarried by the side sections, the glass sections being of less lengththan said side sections, leaving an opening between the ends of theglass and the ends of said sections, and angle plates located in saidopenings of the abutting ends to hold said side sections in position,the panel sections being constructed so that both said glass sectionsand angle plates may be inserted into operative positions from a side ofthe panel section common to its individual sections.

3. In a lamp shade, the combination of an apron formed of angularlyarranged sections and a top portion surmounting the apron, the sectionseach having a transverse opening therethrough and a longitudinal glassor the like receiving opening communicating with said transverse openingand extending to the top side of the apron whereby a glass or the likemay be inserted into said longitudinal opening from said top side whenthe apron is disassociated from the top portion, and means for attachingthe apron to said top portion of the r lamp shade.

4. In a lamp shade, the combination of an apron formed of angularlyarranged sections and a top portion surmounting the apron, the adjoiningsections each having a longitudinal glass or the like receiving slotopen at the opposite ends and one side of the section, a glass or thelike located in each longitudinal slot and being of less length than itssection thereby leaving open space at the junction of the longitudinalslots of said adjoining sections, and means located in the open space ofsaid adjoining sections for attaching said sections together.

5. In a lamp shade, the combination of an apron formed of singularlyarranged sections and a top portion surmounting the apron, the adjoiningsections each having a longitudinal glass or the like receiving slotopen at opposite ends and one side of the section, a glass or the likelocated in each longitudinal slot and being of less length than itssection thereby leaving open space at the junction of the longitudinalslots of said adjoining sections, and an angular member located in saidopen space of said adjoining sections for attaching same together, theglass and angle member being insertible into said slot from the openside of the section.

6. A lamp shade comprising a polygonal portion. each angular sectionthereof haw ing a transverse opening therethrough, a longitudinal slotextending from end to end and to the top side of each section, a glasslocated in each slot and being of less length witnesses.
